The dimensions of the the plot of land is a length of 19 meters and width of 12 meters.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length of the field and y represent the width of the field, hence:

Deion has 62 m of fencing:

2(x + y) = 62

x + y = 31

y = 31 - x     (1)

The area of the land is 228 square meters. hence:

xy = 228

x(31 - x) = 228

x² - 31x + 228 = 0  

x = 12 or x = 19

when x = 12; y = 31 - 12 = 19

when x = 19; y = 31 - 19 = 12

The dimensions of the the plot of land is a length of 19 meters and width of 12 meters.
